The World Health Organization reported that by 2021, nearly 6 million people had died from the corona plague.
Now a new study has found that the true number may be three times the estimate: 18.2 million.
"The true number of deaths is much higher than reported in most countries," said Heidong Wang, one of the authors of the study and a population health expert at the Institute of Health and Evaluation Indices in Seattle, reports the prestigious NATURE magazine.
"Understanding the true death toll from the epidemic is essential for effective public health decisions," he added.

The authors of the study say that a variety of factors - from an unreported infection to the burden that the disease has caused in hospitals - may explain the unprecedented number of additional deaths during the epidemic.
The study, published a few days ago in the Lancet, examined the number of "excess deaths" worldwide in 2020 and 2021.
Using models.
The team calculated the number of "expected" deaths in years not affected by a global epidemic, and compared this figure to the total number of people who died from any cause.
The peak of the omicron strain in many places, which led to an increase in the number of deaths from the corona virus, was not included in the present study.
The numbers are not accurate at all.

In the US the official count is about 960,000 deaths, but the research team estimates that the actual death toll stands at about 1.13 million. The researchers said that India, USA, Russia, Mexico, Brazil, Indonesia and Pakistan were the unreported cumulative addition The greatest of the dead.
"These seven countries accounted for more than half of the world's excess deaths as a result of COVID-19 over a 24-month period," the study authors wrote.

The numbers in the study also showed significant fluctuations in other causes of death over the past two years, which may also be related to the virus or its effects.
For example, deaths from heart attacks and strokes have risen beyond pre-epidemic levels, as have deaths from dementia and Alzheimer's disease.
COVID-19 has been linked to both cardiovascular and neurological problems, as well as disrupting physicians' ability to treat patients who have not been infected with corona.
As early as last May, the World Health Organization (WHO) suspected that up to three times more people had died as a result of the virus than the world data showed.
Based on a report that showed that by the end of 2020, the corona virus had killed 1.8 million people, the World Health Organization estimated that the excess deaths were more likely to be 3 million.
By May, 3.4 million people had died, and the health organization estimated the figure at a higher probability of 6-8 million.
